Gen. Graat on the Term, a, yIek.b.rr.

In the August Century is printed for the first
time letter by Gen. Grant on the above topic
from which the following is an extract: Gen.
PembeTton, being a Northern man command
ing Southern army, was not at the same lib
erty to surrender an army that man of South
ern birth would be. In adversely or defeat he
became an object Of suspicion, and felt it.
Bowen was Southern man all over, and knew
the garrison at Yicksburg had TO surrender or
be captured, and knew it was best to stop fur
ther eGusion Of blood by surrendering. he did
all he could to bring about that result.
Pemberton is mistaken in several points. II
was Bowen that proposed that ne and A. j.
Smith should talk over the matter of the sur
render and submit their views. Neither Penn
berton nor objected; but we were not willing
TO commit ourselves to accepting such terms as
they might propose In a short time those off,
GERS returned. Bowen acted as spokesman.
What he said was substantially this: The Con-
federate army was TO be permitted TO march
out with the honors of war, carrying with them
their arms, eolors and field batteries. The Ma
tional troops were then to march in and occupy
the city, and retain the siege guns, smell-arms
not in the hands Of the men, all public prop
erty remaining. OF course, rejected the terms
at once. did agree, however, before we sep
arated, TO write Pemberton what terms I would
give. The correspondence is public and speaks
for itself l held no council of war. Hostili-
ties having ceased, officers and men soon be-
came acquainted with the reason why. Gu
riosity led officers of rank-most all the gen.
eral oficers-to visit my headquarters with
the hope Of getting some news. / talked with
them very freely about the meeting between
Gen. Pemberton and myself, our correspond.

after as practicable. This would have used all
the transportation we had for q month. The
men had behaved so we'll that did not want
to humiliate them. j believed that considera
ton for their feelings would make them less

tilities, and better citizens after the war was
over.-U. S. GRANT.

Rough on the Chaplain.
lNetV York Tribunal

Gen. N. P. Banks tells a story about one Of
his army Chaplains which never fails to bring
down" the GAR. Campfres. The Chaplains
Of the regiments during the war had charge of
the mails for the regiments to which they were
attached. The mail for the regiment Of this
particular Chaplain had not come to hand for
many days. The regiment was out of the line
Of communication. Every day from one-half
to two-thirds Of the soldier boys filed up to the
Chaplain's tent with such stereotyped inquiries
as these:
"Any mail yet, Chaplain?"
"Haye you heard from the mail?"
ado you know when the mails will come?n
"What do you think is delaying the mail ?"
The good man was so pestered with inquiries
that he had no time TO prepare his weekly, SER
mon. He was obliged to spend all his tiIye in
explaining that he had no mail that he had
heard nothing about the mail. It occurred to
him that he might put an end to his troubles
by sign. Procuring the bottom of an old hard
tack box he marked it with charcoal and nailed
it on a tree in front of his tent so that all might
see this notice:
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN
THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inquirer who came along
was a reckless young wag. He gazed for a
while at the notice, and discovering the piece
of charcoal the Chaplain had dropped on the
ground at the completion of the sign, he seized
il and added these words:
AND HE DON'T CARE A D-N.
The Chaplain took in the sign and never put
out again.
